"Dr. Steven Nissen, head of clinical cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, has a very different opinion."
As head of clinical cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Steven Nissen isn't going to the poor house if he does his work at the cath lab pro bono. Third party insurers, the gov't and everbody else with an interest in the cost of medicine better get a handle on it. Lord knows the trial lawyers will. This isn't just a pissing contest between interventional cardiologists and radiologists.
